How to raise the latest broad-leaf undead birds?

The broad-leaf undead bird, also known as the big leaf falling to the ground to take root, is a succulent plant of the crassulaceae family. It is known as the "undead bird" because of its strong reproductive ability. The origin is the tropical area of Madagascar in Africa. Potted plants are good materials for windowsill greening. Decorating the study and guest room is also elegant and interesting. Let's take a look at how the broad-leaf undead birds are raised.

Growth habits of broad-leaved undead birds

Broad-leaf undead birds are native to Africa and are cultivated in various parts of our country. They are wild, warm and humid in a sunny environment. They are very cold-resistant and suitable for growing in acid soil with good drainage. In the moist air, the upper and lower can grow slender aerial whisker roots, the small buds evenly arranged on the edge of the large leaves, a corner will fall and will fall to the ground.

Breeding methods of broad-leaf undead birds

Broad-leaved undead birds are commonly used for cutting, adventitious buds and sowing and propagation. The best cuttage is from May to June, when the robust leaves are laid flat on the sand bed and close to the sand to maintain the humidity, the plantlets can grow from the tooth deficiency of the leaf edge one week after cutting, and cut and move into the basin after growing up. The top branch is 8cm long after cutting, it is slightly dried and inserted into the sand bed, it begins to take root after 1 week, and can be potted after 2 weeks. The propagation of adventitious buds is more convenient, and the larger adventitious buds growing on the leaf margin can be peeled off and put on the basin directly. The seeds of broad-leaf undead birds are small and do not cover the soil after sowing. They germinate about 12-15 days after sowing, and the germination rate is high.

How to raise broad-leaf undead birds?

1. Soil: broad-leaf undead birds are suitable to grow in acid soil with good drainage, and 3 parts of rotten leaf soil and 1 part of sandy soil can be used in pot culture.

2. Pruning: pick the heart of the new seedlings in time to promote branching. For older plants, they should be cut short to sprout new branches.

3. Change the basin: when the stem and leaf grow too high, the heart should be removed and the plant shape should be lowered to promote its multiple branches. Update and change the basin every spring to keep the plant in a beautiful state.

4. Watering: watering a little more during the growing period, keeping the basin soil moist, but not stagnant water, watering should be reduced in autumn and winter, and watering should be strictly controlled in winter.

5. Fertilization: it is not necessary to apply fertilizer too frequently, otherwise it will cause prosperous growth and may cause plant rot. Fertilizer can be applied once or twice a month in the growing season.

6. Disease prevention: Botrytis cinerea and powdery mildew can be sprayed with 1000 times of methyl topiramate wettable powder, and shell insects and aphids can be sprayed with 1000 times of 40% dimethoate EC.
